Stockholm-based artist and powerlifter m0n0 jay reimagines gym culture within an infectious art-pop production on her lead single “L.L.L. (Lift, Lift, Lick It).” Taken from her upcoming concept debut EP Secret Selfies, the track plays as a 128 BPM club mover celebrating body positivity and the joy of movement. As the sole creative director of the project, she blends a memorable xylophone presence with heavy industrial bass to present a fun, empowering pop entrancement.

Twinkling xylophone and bouncy bass intertwine with infectious qualities to start, complemented by a title-touting vocal beckoning — “lift, lift, lick it — lift your lollipop.” The vocal presence shifts from steady intrigue into a soulfully melodic soaring thereafter, emitting an “energy flows up and low” refrain with meditative entrancement. Smooth piano adorns an ensuing vocal presence, its “lovely to see you” amiability complementing a dance-friendly piano clanging before an “energy flows” reprisal hits impactfully.

“Look into my eyes,” consuming vocals kickstart an especially compelling sequence, culminating in a shimmering, hooky drop as a “here we go!” vocal exultation drives into a final central hook. Resonant bass, house-ready piano, and colorful vocal repetition then swirl with cohesive enthrallment into the track’s gripping finale. “”L.L.L. (Lift, Lift, Lick It)” is a replay-inducing pop charmer, with plenty of stylish energy, from m0n0 jay.
